Nootropics and Choline

What is choline?

Very recently only in 1998, choline is recognized as an essential nutrient,  and this is made by the body for its own needs.it's required for the normal function of the body for normal health. Although the body makes but a large amount also comes from food that we take every day.It's an organic, water-soluble  compound its neither vitamin nor mineral  and often grouped along with the vitamin B complex group due to its similarities,

 it impacts on

Liver function 

Healthy brain  function 

Nerves system  function 

Metabolism  function 

Therefore adequate  amounts  are always  needed for the body to function  properly,(1),(2) 

Let's see

                                       Nootropics and choline

What choline does?

Choline plays a very important  role in many processes  going on in the body some of them are

Cell structure 

It makes the cell membrane 

Cell messaging 

It is involved in  the  production  of  compounds  that acts as cell messengers at transport and metabolism It's required  for removing the cholesterol  from the liver, if it is inadequate  then there is the buildup of cholesterol  levels 

DNA synthesis 

Choline with vitamin -B12, and Folic acid takes part and produce DNA

Nervous system  maintenance 

It's important to produce  acetylcholine which is a neurotransmitter for the nervous system 

And this is also involved  in 

Memory 

Muscle movement 

Heartbeat regulations 

Other basic functions 

How much is required? 

This also depends on  gender and age and health conditions but a healthy individual  needs about 550mg/ day

What are health benefits? 

1., May be helpful to  Heart health 

Choline may reduce the risk of heart  disease  by lowering the homocysteine levels 

2,:-May help in Brain problems 

It regulates and improves 

Memory, mood, and intelligence 

Better memory and processing

Brain development 

Mental health  disorders 

Mood disorders 

Bipolar disorder 

3,:-May help in liver disease 

It reduces  liver risk by 28%

4,:-May help in Cancer

There are mixed results  and more research is  needed

What are the negative impacts? 

Taking too much choline  can be harmful it can create  side effects  such as a drop in blood pressure, sweating, fishy body odor, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting The upper limit is 3500mg/day, this limit is just not possible if you are not taking any choline supplements,(3),(4)

Does it good for nootropics? 

It has all properties to help Brain, and because of that it is good for nootropics and in fact is already present in many supplements meant for nootropics. 

So, where does choline stands, as for as nootropics facts are concerned choline is too important as a nootropic, about nootropics activity its basic molecule involve in brain activities, we think choline and choline derivatives can be a very interesting choice as nootropics?

Nootropics and Carnitine

What is Carnitine?

L-Carnitine is a derivative of naturally occurring amino acid, its very popular,  and used for bodybuilding, fitness, and weight loss programs as a supplement. In a broad sense, it is a nutrient and dietary supplement 

It's produced in labs and it is a synthetic product, the body itself produces it for its needs, very small amounts it can be managed from food, what we eat particularly meat and fish. For some people, vegans or people with certain  genetic  issues, it has to be given as a supplement,(1).,(2)

 Let's see 

                            Nootropics and  Carnitine

What are different types of carnitine?

The several types of carnitine which are used for supplements  are

L- Carnitine

This is the most required type and standard  bioactive form of carnitine

D-Carnitine

This is a very inactive form, it should not be used

Acetyl- Carnitine

Most active form for the brain, this is more beneficial for people with neurodegeneration.

Propionyl - L-Carnitine

More active form for blood circulation improves blood flow

L -Carnitine-L-Tartarate

More active form for supplements  meant for sports, weight loss For most people, acetyl-L-Carnitine is the best working type

How it works? 

Its main role in our body is

1,:-Energy production

2,:-Mitochondrial function

In cells carnitine transport fatty acids, where they burn and produce energy,  for this purpose, most carnitine, about 90% only contained in muscles where it produces energy by utilizing fatty acids as fuel, and in turn, it helps in weight loss.

Where it occurs in nature?

                            Carnitine  in Nature

What are the health benefits of  Carnitine? 

Carnitine is associated with energy production that too in muscles, where it utilizes fatty acids rather than carbohydrates.

1,:-May help in weight loss

It really works, research studies confirm this.

2,:-May help in exercise  performance 

These benefits  are indirect and it takes  time, these are long term benefits,(3) 

Recovery

May improve  exercise  recovery 

Muscle oxygen supply

May increase oxygen supply to muscles

Stamina 

May increase blood flow,  delay discomfort, and reduce fatigue 

Muscle Soreness

May reduce muscle  soreness after exercise 

Red blood cell  production 

May increase the production of red blood  cells, which are also responsible  for oxygen 

Transport to full body

3,:-May help brain

It provides  almost all-round  health benefits  in this area studies suggested that

It prevents age-related mental decline

It improves  markers of learning 

It protects the brain from cell damage 

4:-May help Heart

It reduces  blood pressure 

It increases blood  circulation 

5,:- May help in diabetes  type2

What should be dosed?

Although  recommend doses varies from 500 to 2000 gram/day depending on for what the purpose it is  used

Who should take it?

Older adults,  vegans, and vegetarians

Some very specific  use such as for cases of brain, and blood circulation 

Does it good for nootropics? 

If you see it used for more betterment for the brain, so it should  be used as nootropics in fact, it is used in a lot of supplements  meant for nootropics 

So what we have to say about this, from nootropics facts point of view, it's most trusted drug today, about nootropics activity, it has more than enough activity in the area of brain and brain functions, its side effects are also very limited, all said and done it can be very good choice.

Nootropics and DMAE

What is  DMAE?

Actually, it is chemical, its name is dimethylethanolamine, it's bifunctional, which means it has two reactive groups, one anime other alcohol, its colorless, viscous liquid with little ammonia smellIt's totally  synthetic  means it is made in labs, not isolated from  any natural product 

DMAE bitartrate

It's bitartrate salt, is a white powder, and mostly it is used as a dietary supplement, it has37% DMAE in it DMAE is naturally  produced in the body, which means it is present in the body, it's also present in fatty fishes such as anchovies, sardines, and salmon.,(1),(2)

Let's see 

                               Nootropics and  DMAE

How it works? 

It works by increasing the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in sending signals to nerves. Acetylcholine is also supposed to be responsible  for regulating many functions of the brain such as,(3),(4)

Sleep

Muscle contractions

Pain responses

Also, prevent the formation of beta-amyloid buildup in the brain, beta-amyloid is responsible for the age-related decline of brain function,  such as memory  loss

What are the health benefits of DMAE? 

There are not many  research studies in this area, and also whatever  information  we have is an old one

1,:-Support memory 

Very little evidence  in this area, it may be helpful to  protect memory 

2,:-Reduce hyperactivity

In this area, it is reported to  be helpful,  particularly  in children's 

3,:-Improve moods

Research studies indicate that DMAE  helps in this area 

Reduces depression, anxiety, and irritability

Apart from calling it as DMAE, its also called as

Deanol

Acetamido-benzoate de deanol

Benzilate de deanol

Bisorcate de deanol

Cyclohehylpropionate deanol 

Deanol  aceglumate

Deanol hemisuccinate

Deanol  pidolate

Deanol  tartrate

Does it worth as nootropics? 

In spite of side reactions  and also not much information  available  about these products, this is also one of the most used products in supplements meant for nootropics.,(5) 

So where do we stand, from nootropics facts point of view, this product is great, its effective about nootropics activities also it works, and doctors are using it in a big way, and a lot of research studies information we have, we think it can be used as nootropics, but as it is the drug, you must inform your doctor before taking a decision about this.

Nootropics and Nicotine

About nicotine

It's tobaccos main ingredient, widely used as a stimulant, and at the same time highly addictive, and very well known for its bad effects,  so what is good about it. according to  research  carried out, where pure nicotine,  not tobacco, is tested and it found,(1),(2) ,that it can protect from

Alzheimer's disease 

Parkinson's disease 

Even ward off these diseases 

Even it reduces  the  anxiety 

Improve memory and concentration 

But because its bad effects are so high, the medical circle does not want to take the risk.

Let's see 

                                 Nootropics and Nicotine

Does it act as nootropics? 

It does have some good effects on the brain, but whether we should use it as nootropics is a question,  unanswered,  however, it is used in some supplements meant for nootropics,(3). 

So, what we have to say about this, from a nootropics facts point of view, and about nootropic activities it provides a very great picture, but again possibilities of bad happening, and addiction stop us to say that it can be a too good a choice, although it is used in supplements meant for nootropics

Nootropics and Caffeine

About Caffeine 

This is a natural ingredient of tea, coffee, and cacao plants, and also maybe the most used ingredient in the world,  most of the people start their day,  from this.It works on the brain and CNS system and provides energy,  stimulation, and alertness.

Let's see 

                        Nootropics and  Caffeine

How it works? 

Most of the caffeine is taken orally,  and is absorbed, and goes to the main bloodstream very fast, from there it reaches the liver where it breaks down to smaller compounds which further, go to almost all parts of the body's main function is in the brain, where it blocks the effect of adenosine. Adenosine acts as a neurotransmitter and what it does is, make the brain  slow down, or relax, in the end, this translate to  tiredness, so caffeine  overcome the effects  of tiredness, make fresh good mood and feel fresh In the process of overcoming the adenosine effect, caffeine  goes the other way and keeps you alert, stay awake, also increases the levels of adrenaline which  increases brain activity by more release of,(3),(4)

Dopamine

Does caffeine fit as good nootropics? 

Well, most of its activities are in the area of the brain, it's very affordable and manageable, and already it is used in many supplements meant for nootropics. 

So as for as caffeine is concerned, from a nootropics facts point of view it's just great it works that too works very fast, about nootropics no one should have any doubt as most of the people any way using it in the form of tea or coffee, it can be a very interesting choice, the only thing it may be addicting

Nootropics and Bacopa

What is Bacopa?

It's called Bacopa monnieri, water hyssop, Indian pennywort, herb of grace, Brahmi it's a very common herb that grows on a wetland in North and South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, India, and Australia.  For centuries  this herb is used in Ayurveda only for one purpose,  increasing  memory,  It has a very powerful  rare molecule,  called  Bacosides and most of the health  benefits are due to this molecule,(1),(2)

Let's see 

                                     Nootropics and  Bacopa

What are the health benefits of  Bacopa?

1,:-It acts as a very powerful  antioxidant and helps the brain

Bacosides and some other compounds  present  in Bacopa acts as a very powerful  antioxidant, it reacts with free radicals responsible  for lipid peroxidation, these oxidized lipid molecules, in the end, lead to a neurodegenerative process which gives birth of

Alzheimer's disease 

Parkinson's disease 

Now here the molecules  present in Bacopa interact and prevents this lipid peroxidation, here it proves that Bacopa helps in brain problems Research studies also show that it helps in dementia and reverse the signs of

memory impairment 

2,:- It has very powerful  anti-inflammatory  activities 

It suppresses the release of pro-inflammatory cytokinins, a type of immune response which creates inflammation. It also inhibits enzymes,  cyclooxygenase, caspases, and lipooxygenases these enzymes are responsible for  generating  pain and inflammation  in the body, so Bacopa inhibit them, and by doing so  it helps in pain and inflammation In one animal study, Bacopa is compared with diclofenac and indomethacin, the two most used drugs for inflammation  and pain although  more research is  needed whatever  animal studies  we have, showBacopa is a powerful  anti-inflammatory 

3,:- May boost most of the brain functions

In Ayurveda, an alternative treatment method of India, this Bacopa, which is called Brahmi is used for memory enhancement what modern science says, the research studies indicate that increases dendritic lengths and branching, which means that dendrites, a part of nerve cells in the brain closely linked with memory and learning. by strengthening  these dendrites Bacopa supports 

Memory  and learning 

Significantly  improve the speed of processing  visual information 

Improve  memory, attention, and ability  to process information 

4,:- May help in ADHD

ADHD, (attention  deficit  hyperactivity disorder), a neuro disorder,  which is characterized by  symptoms  such as

Hyperactivity 

Impulsivity

Inattentive news

Restlessness

Poor self-control 

Bacopa is reported to  help in this case, and significantly  reduce  these symptoms 

5,:- May provide  help in stress, anxiety, and depression 

Research studies indicate that  Bacopa is very powerful  in this area

It elevates mood

Reduce the levels of cortisol, a hormone responsible  for  stress and anxiety Its anti-anxiety  benefits  are very close to lorazepam,  a drug used for the treatment  of

Anxiety 

It reduces  significantly  depression Of course, more research  is needed  in this area, but whatever primary  research information  we have only shown that Bacopa  is very friendly  with  brain

6,:-It can be helpful  for  heart

It lowers blood pressure  both, systolic and diastolic, this it performs by generating nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels, increases blood flow

7,:-May help in Cancer

It has molecules, which have anti-cancer properties,  research  studies  shows can kill, aggressive  brain cancer cells can also be effective  in  skin and breast  cancer but again these reports are  from animals,  rats there are no reports  from humans more research  is needed  in this area

What is the negative impact? 

It's very safe for most people,  but some people  develop  some side effects  such as nausea, stomach  cramps, and diarrhea We don't have much information  about its safety, it can interact  with the medication if you are on any, so better inform your doctor before taking it.,(3),(4),(5)

Does it a good nootropic? 

Well most of its activities  are  only for the brain, which makes it almost the first  choice  for nootropics 

How to take it?

It's available in powder, tablets, capsule form doses are 300 to 450 mg, Bacopa extract per day powder can be used in the form of tea Some people mix the powder in butter, or ghee,(a form of clarified butter), and use it along with hot water or milk. 

So where do we stand, from nootropics facts point of view, about nootropics activity no one can have doubt, as this bacopa, another name, Brahmi, is very old, time tested., and used by Ayurveda, Indian health system only for memory, now we know its good for a lot of other brain functions, we feel it can be trusted, should be tried as number one nootropics.

Nootropics and Lions mushroom

What are Lion's mushrooms?

Stomach  ulcers are caused by mostly two reasons 

1,:-By overgrowth of a bacteria  H.Pylori, which damages stomach  layers

2,:-By long term use of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory  drug (NSAIDs)

Lion's mushroom  extract found to work in this case, it reduces inflammation and also prevents damage  of tissues  in other areas of the intestine 

3,:-Help with Heart problems 

It lowers triglycerides levels 

Also, prevent oxidation of  cholesterol,  oxidized cholesterol  molecules tends to attaching the walls of arteries and this hardens them, it increases the risk of heart stroke lions mushroom  is helpful  as it prevents this oxidation also another ingredient  in lions mushroom  called, Hericenone B, which decrease the rate of blood clotting and by doing so it protects the heart

Nootropics and Turmeric

What is Turmeric?

Turmeric is a plant that belongs to the ginger family, its roots are used in traditional cooking. This plant is cultivated in  India and other Asian countries. It has a very rare ingredient  called curcumin, and it contributes to most of its health  benefits Turmeric is used in  Ayurvedic medicine for centuries,  but modern research  could not able  to provide very clean clear evidence  for its health benefits,(1),(2),(3)

Let's see 

                                        Nootropics and Turmeric

What is curcumin?

It occurs in  turmeric in about 2 -to -8%, These are one types of molecules group, in very broadway, these are also called Curcuminoids they have extraordinary bioactivities, In this group, there are three major  molecules 

Curcumin

Demethoxycurcumin

Bisdemethoxycurcumin

In the three molecules, the most study is done on curcumin only. And most of the time turmeric directly is used rather than the isolates, curcumin.

What are turmeric health benefits? 

Turmeric can be one of the most bioactive, and most effective nutrients,  although we have a lot of research information and still, more is needed today,  whatever results we have we can say it has a lot of benefits for the full human body and for its brain. some important  benefits follow,(4),(5)

1,:-Osteoarthritis

Turmeric has shown a very significant effect in this area it is reported that turmeric can reduce the symptoms of this disease.

2,:-Obesity

Turmeric inhibits pathway involved in  obesity  and regulates body fat

3,:-Heart disease 

Can reduce bad LDL cholesterol,  and thus help in heart problems

7,:-Anti fungal 

It has a broad spectrum of activities  as an anti-fungal agent

8,:-Anti bacterial 

It has a very powerful  antibacterial  activity,  it can reduce the growth of many diseases forming bacterias

9,:-Protection to brain

This is what we are more interested in as we are using  turmeric as nootropics 

Here what research findings say that curcumin  

Increases BDNF,(brain-derived neurotrophic factor), a type of brain hormone, which effects  the function of the brain, by doing this may be effectively  delaying or even reversing many brain diseases this hormone is involved  in 

Stress

Depression 

Anxiety 

Alzheimer's disease 

Memory 

Alertness 

Concentration 

So that's why  turmeric is a very powerful nootropic, still, we need more research  here although  most of the benefits  reported  above have used curcumin isolated for research purpose

But in turmeric, there are other compounds also apart from curcumin,

what they have an impact?

 let's see

Turmeric health benefits,  not because of  Curcumin 

1,:-It protect the brain

It's helpful to  Parkinson's disease 

2,:-It has powerful  antifungal  activities 

Some of these activities are  because of curcumin  as stated above, but turmeric has another molecule, a little less known, is called as

Curdione

This also has antifungal activity, so the combination  of curcumin and curdione presents too many powerful activities 

3,:-Booster for immunity 

It's found that turmeric increases the immunity  of the body in a very significant  way

So does turmeric works as a nootropic?

So what about turmeric from a nootropics facts point of view, as you saw it may be one of the best for this job, this is what truth is, about nootropics performance we can not place it second to any other nootropics, this is what fact is, and in reality, it's used in a large number of formulations meant for nootropics

How we should eat turmeric? 

There is a problem, curcumin does not absorb  very easily, so what best should be done research studies indicate that curcumin  can be absorbed  in the system easily if it is taken along with black pepper,  so what next

1, Take turmeric along with black pepper  only

2, Take turmeric along with oil as in water the absorption is very poor

3, Maybe turmeric+ black pepper +butter will do

Why black pepper? 

Turmeric metabolizes in the gut before absorbing, black pepper ingredients block those enzymes that destroy turmeric in the gut, and thus it helps in absorption

So, where do we stand from the Nootropics Facts point of view? 

Although, we still need more research inputs, but whatever information we have they

 make turmeric very very important, just use with butter and black pepper, and it will

 take care of most of your problem of stress, it's too simple to use, it's very affordable,

 and at the same time very effective particularly with bone and brain problems, so what

 you are waiting maybe you already have in your kitchen is the only question to see

 towards this as a medicine
